POLICY AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

Cumberland Region Tomorrow GNRC provides staffing and program development for Cumberland Region Tomorrow (CRT). CRT is a private, non-profit, citizen-based regional organization that works with public and private partners to help shape patterns of growth and development that enhance and sustain the ten-county region’s future livability and values. A significant part of the team’s activities center around the review and analysis of proposed policies, rule-making, or legislation that could have an impact – for better or worse – on GNRC programs, clients, and local member communities. GNRC monitors activities within the Tennessee General Assembly and U.S. Congress to inform local elected leaders on bills that may impact their community or the region as a whole. Partnerships, Policy Analysis and Monitoring The Policy and Government Affairs team supports the organization by participating in various local, statewide, and national initiatives being carried out by public agencies and non-profit organizations. This work includes building partnerships with other organizations with a common interest in aging and disability issues, population health outcomes, affordable housing, social equity and inclusion, environmental quality, and growth and development trends.
